THE WAR EFFORT
CHECKING SUBVERSION
(Ky Telegraph—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, April 17,
A resolution urging the Government to dismiss .any servants whose "goslow" policy or Communistic or subversive tactics were against the country's war effort was adopted unanimously at. the annual meeting of the Territorial Association of Otago today. The meeting was assured by the Minister of Defence (the Hon. F. Jones), who was present, that the Government was not going to allow anyone to sabok age the war effort, but at the same time he said that the Allies were fighting for freedom and the right of the people to express their opinions, and they must respect those opinions, provided they did not act detrimentally to the Dominion's war effort.
The resolution was as follows:— "That this annual meeting of the Territorial Association of Otago requests the Government to take immediate action to dispense with the services of any persons employed in Government Departments who through 'go-slow' tactics, Communistic, or subversive activities are detrimentally affecting New Zealand's production and consequently her war effort."
